Cryptic structure and niche divergence within threatened Galápagos giant tortoises from southern Isabela Island

2014-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Although Galápagos giant tortoises are an icon for both human-mediated biodiversity losses and conservation management successes, populations of two species on southern Isabela Island (Chelonoidis guntheri, and C. vicina) remain threatened by hunting and persistence of feral animals. Conservation management of these tortoises has been hampered by lack of clarity regarding their taxonomy, ecological and morphologic...
